This is my second year attempting to make sauce. First year I made nothing worth repeating, nothing bad just not great. However thanks to all the information you guys provide on this forum and downright copying, I think I am starting to make some progress. Small batches are the norm until I get something perfected. Here is tonight’s concoction:
Started with 3 Yellow 7 Pots, 3 Fataliis, and 3 Bhut Jolokias. I didn’t know if the red pepper would blend well with the yellows but what the heck, I have no experience and it’s probably going to be too hot for me to taste anyway! Not pictured is a little vinegar and sugar.
Cooking it up outside so I don’t upset the family!
About 15 minutes and everything is getting pretty soft except for the pineapple.
In the blender, at which time I added a little honey, sugar, lime juice and vinegar.
Low simmer for another 20 minutes and time for a taste. Wow it’s really hot but not as bad as I was expecting! I can’t say that either the mango or pineapple is dominating. Pretty sweet but that’s what I was shooting for. Had a pretty strong vinegar smell while cooking but I cant say I detect it in the taste. This turned out better than I was expecting.
Time for a 10 minute bath.
Just realized my tongue is still burning 20 minutes later! Finished product is on the left. I included a few others I made over the last week. Second from the left is a sauce made from about 15 Jamaican Hot Chocolates, peach, onion, garlic, salt, worcestershire, and brown sugar. Turned out pretty good but not as good as what I just made. Third from the left is a cayenne sauce. Used a bunch of Ring Of Fires, ketchup, onion, garlic, salt, lime, and vinegar. This also turned out better than I expected, hotter than I thought I would get from the cayennes. On the right is a sauce made from about 6 red jalapenos, 15 Scotch Bonnets, salt lime, and vinegar. This one didn’t do a lot for me as far as the taste but it is extremely hot!
What I really need to do is order some of the professionally made sauces that you guys are making to give me something to shoot for. This is going to get addicting!
